What happened: Houston Texans defender Jalen Pitre spoke with reporter Melanie Collins prior to Sunday's game. He stated he is 'focused and ready to dominate' against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Why it matters: The secondary will need to carry a heavier burden as the offense navigates the absence of wide receiver Nico Collins. Collins was ruled out earlier this week due to a hamstring injury.
By the numbers: Houston enters the matchup allowing 25.2 points per game, while the undefeated Bengals average 26.5 points.
What to watch: The Texans defense faces the challenge of containing a Cincinnati team seeking its fifth consecutive win.
